RE: Shimano Waxwing Jig System
There could be very limited application in freshwater.

The Waxwing works better a higher retrieval speed. For most part, freshwater fish are not going to chase a fast moving bait unless under very rare circumstances.

Most of the time, even when using a walking the dog lure, you move it at a slower pace and even add some pauses in between.

Since the Waxwing is subsurface, it's substitute in freshwater is the gliding baits that muskie anglers use. If you watch the Waxwing's action, it doesn't have any wiggle...but rather darts left and right with an occasional kick. Most freshwater lures relies more on a wiggle or wobble to entice a strike reaction.

I'm not saying it won't work...but to pay $20 for a lure that works on the rare occasion...I'd rather spend that money elsewhere.

There are cheaper freshwater lures that works just as well or better at a much cheaper cost.

Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger.
